Giovanni Luca Chiavari (Genoa,1573 - Genoa,1657) was the 98th Doge of the Republic of Genoa.
The beginning of his two-year term as doge was aroused by a new war that again involved the Kingdom of France and the Spanish Empire for the succession of Duchy of Montferrat with a Republic of Genoa forced if not obliged to play a neutral role. Added to this were the new contrasts with the Duchy of Savoy of Charles Emmanuel I.
In 1628 Giovanni Antonio Ansaldo,an agent of Charles Emmanuel I,recruited and furnished with ample funds a group of Genoese conspirators led by Giulio Cesare Vachero who were to overthrow the Republic of Genoa and place the city under the protection of the Duchy of Savoy. [1] The plot failed and Vachero and his accomplices were sentenced to death. [1] Following the failed conspiracy,the Republic established the Inquisitori di Stato (Inquisitors of the State),a sort of secret police whose main function was to safeguard the security of the State against its potential enemies. [2]
Chiavari's mandate ended on 28 June 1629. He died in 1657. [3] [4]
Charles Emmanuel I,known as the Great,was the Duke of Savoy and ruler of the Savoyard states from 30 August 1580 until his death almost 50 years later in 1630,he was the longest-reigning Savoyard monarch at the time,only for his record to be surpassed by his great-grandson Victor Amadeus II. He was nicknamed Testa d'feu for his rashness and military aggression.

Fulvio Testi was an Italian diplomat and poet who is recognised as one of the main exponents of 17th-century Italian Baroque literature. He worked in the service of the d'Este dukes in Modena,for whom he held high office,such as the governorship of Garfagnana. Poetically,alongside Gabriello Chiabrera,he was the major exponent of the Hellenizing strand of Baroque classicism,combining Horatianism with the imitation of Anacreon and Pindar. His poems tackle civic themes in solemn tones,showing Testi's lasting anti-Spanish and,consequently,pro-Savoia political passions. Accused of treason for having tried to set up diplomatic relations with the French court,he was imprisoned and died in jail soon after. According to Giacomo Leopardi:
If he'd been born in a less barbarous age,and had had more time than he did to cultivate his talent,he would doubtless have been our Horace,and perhaps been hotter and more vehement and more sublime than the Latin man
